About the AHA Governing Committee

The AHA Governing Committee is an advisory committee to the AHA staff and Brewers Association Board of Directors.

The members of the Governing Committee are elected by the members of the AHA and charged with shaping the association’s policy and activities on their behalf. The Governing Committee also appoints two members as designates to the Brewers Association Board of Directors.

If elected, the Governing Committee member is expected to:

Participate in monthly conference calls (typically the second Tuesday of the month at 9 p.m. ET)

Attend the annual face-to-face Governing Committee meeting held the day before Homebrew Con at the location of the conference.

Participate in one or more subcommittees. These may have separate phone conferences scheduled. Much of the committee work is done electronically.
